The World is a Rose. 12"x12"

"The world is a rose. Smell it and pass it to your friends." Persian proverb

The annual SAQA Benefit Auction deadline snuck up on me this year. I have donated for more years than I can remember, so when they gently reminded me the due date was fast approaching I dug deep.

Literally.

This little quilt was begun years ago but only recently finished. I photographed a rose, printed it on fabric, and machine quilted all over it. What took so long was the hand beading on the petals, which you can't see too well in the detail shot. Because I don't see that well anymore either, it's my beading swan song.

Here's my latest Tad Dah! moment. My piece "I Pledge"(see previous post on 4/22) made the cut for the Threads of Resistance traveling exhibit. I'm extremely honored that I get to hang out with some big talent. To say nothing of the passionate and timely messages illustrated therein.

About Me

Very soon after I became a quilter I discovered art quilting to be my niche. I am a member of Studio Art Quilt Associates, two quilt guilds, and Postmark'd Art. Galleries, trunk shows, quilt shows, blogging...I am so pleased when people want to see my art.
I want to attract your eyes with color and composition, and then take them on a journey around the quilt. Look closer. You'll be rewarded with interesting details. Enjoy.
